About This Audit
The compliance audit of The Liberty Hose Company No. 1 Firemen’s Relief Association in Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, spanning January 1, 2022, to December 31, 2024, identified significant noncompliance issues. Out of nine audit findings, the association only addressed one from the prior audit. Key issues such as undocumented expenditures, incomplete equipment rosters, lack of a tax exemption number, inadequate financial records, and unauthorized expenditures remain unresolved. The audit suggests potential withholding of future state aid if compliance doesn’t improve. Measures taken are essential to align operations with the VFRA Act and protect state aid allocations.
